Winter 2024/25 - Brooksville last 2 Weeks January

 Took a trip.over to the Masaryk Winery

around the corner.

They have Upicktopia gardens

Another ride with a group from the campground 

A stop at a VFW to regroup

To our lunch spot the blue gator tiki bar & restaurant in Dunnellon

Get home and it looks like the cows came home too

After a stretch of cold weather it is nice enough to go for another ride with our friends Patti and Dale.  We head towards Weeki Wachi

A stop for lunch

Then on to Pine Island

A stop at Linda Pederson Park to look for Manatees.  So it's up the tower for a better view.  It's on the chilly side so not too hopeful

And then Patti sees one coming down the River

Then Two more

There were schools of Mullets too.

Winter 2024/25 - Brooksville, FL 1st two week January

The first two weeks we had a few warm days but mostly cooler in the low to mid 60s with nights in the 30s and 40s.  Not what we signed up for!

We tried a new flea market.  They just started opening on Sundays.  Not too many vendors, but got a few deals, will try again on a Monday, their normal day.

The weather has been less than perfect for Florida so not much venturing out.  We did get a fairly nice afternoon to brave a short motorcycle ride.  Found a spot about a 1/2 hour ride so headed there. 

There was supposed to be a trail

But we followed a paved path to a pier 

And a short walk to the Tower.  This is new, the old one was smaller but tallerm

Gary tries to jer a couple Sand Hill Cranes over to me.

Success!

We hop back on the bike and do a tour of the park 

We come across the little train station

Apparently they have a little train that gives kids to children on some Saturdays

Will have to try and make it back some Saturday when the train is running.
